visited this documentary film festival (cameramen, filmmakers,
photo-digital studio owners and other professionals).The HVR-Z5 was
an absolute sensation! Visitors were fascinated with Sony's newly
designed G Lens, with 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor systems and other Z5
performances.

opened the festival and explained that the fact that more than 50,000
viewers had seen ZagrebDox films in the past 4 years has exceeded all
expectations. „Zagreb's international film festivals not only
contribute to the city's cultural offer, they also put Zagreb on the
map as an important cultural center and are, therefore, a part of its
cultural strategy“, said Duško Ljuština, Member of the City Government
in charge for Education, Culture and Sports.
